Aurora (astronomy) Northern Lights Ireland
Aurora (astronomy) Northern Lights Ireland. When a solar flare happens on the Sun, it can sometimes release a coronal mass ejection (CME) in Earth's direction. As solar flares and CMEs are extremely hard to predict with 100% certainty, it means that it is only possible to predict an aurora a few days before, at the best. Many visit places like Ireland, just to see these lights if lucky. These light occur in thepolar regions of the world. They do not occur at certain times because, depending on the place you live, different patterns. Some places, it happens in a 11 year cycle. However the can not predict exactly as said before. Lots of people go to the northern regions hoping to see these events.
The Colosseum in Rome
Just east of the Roman Forum, the massive stone amphitheater known as the Colosseum was built around A.D. 70-72 by Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty as a gift to the Roman people. In A.D. 80 Titus, Vespasian’s son, officially opened the Colosseum known as the Flavian Amphitheater–with 100 days of games, including gladiatorial combats and wild animal fights. Around four centuries of active use, the magnificent arena fell into neglect, and up until the 18th century it was used as a source of building materials. Two-thirds of the original Colosseum has been destroyed over time, the remain is a popular tourist destination, as well as an iconic symbol of Rome.
